Please help me with the following problem: When I connect a jump drive or digital camera to a USB port I can view the photos or download the pictures from the camera but after using the Safely Remove Hardware to disconnect the device it does the disconnection but the system freezes and have to restart to get back the control. Windows XP Media Center Edition, v.2002; SP2 Intel(R), Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00 GHz; 1.00 RAM M. Board: Intel D865 PERL

Instead of safely remove the entire USB media card reader, try safely remove only the drives assigned to the jump drive and digital camera. FYI: Safely remove the entire USB card reader usually freeze the computer, necessitating forced restart.
